I've worked 2.5 years at a Big Bank as a Financial Analyst. I did a great job but got passed up for a promotion partly due to politics, and I feel it's time for me to leave.
I think I should grab an Finance position at some place that isn't a bank. But, my entire network is in banking.
My current plan is:
>spam my resume on linkedin 25+ times per day to anything that remotely interests me
>use a headhunting / recruiting firm that will also spam my resume
any other ideas

So basically accountant for a big company or a consultant in PWC or McKenzie

unfortunately im not a CPA. my degree is in Finance, went to a top business school, 3.95 GPA
im just wondering if im resume spamming to 200+ places on linkedin if im going to get any interviews out of it.
Who's the nip?

So I've never done this myself, but all the literature seems to point to this:
Contact people at different firms, people with more experience than you, pull the "I'm looking for a mentor card" flatter their ego. 80% will ignore you or tell you to fuck off, the other 20% will irrationally take a liking to you.
When there's an opening, guess who they call?
Another book I read said you literally write letters to companies who are fucking up something that's in your field of expertise and say
>You're doing X and such and such, and I can see you're wasting time/money/resources
>You should be doing Y and such and such. It will save you this much $$
>I worked at W, Z , Q firms. And I was dealing with projects like this all the time.
I don't know about that technique, but if you're not blowing smoke and if your email gets to the right person maybe.
